A.N.: Hey, so I know it has been a while but I have be so extremely busy. I am going to attempt to finish other stories I have started but I am honestly kind of out of that fandom. But I will try. But until then here you go.
Sebastian watched as the gray scenery of London passed by in a blur. The tall buildings that seemed to reach the heavens soon turned into grass and rocks and trees. His Social worker sitting next to him, driving the gray mini-van he owned, humming along with some song that was filling the silence of the vehicle.
The two were in their way to a boy's home that Tom, his social worker, had thought would be a good place for him since they had experience raising high tempered teenage boys like Sebastian. He had been kicked out of his last foster home for getting into an argument with the man that owned it that had led to a fist fight. This house though, had the skills in order to keep that from happening, apparently.
The small home for boys was located on the countryside outside of London. IT was owned by a couple by the name of Brandon and Kathy Griffin. They had no kids of their own but were currently raising five other kids. Today Sebastian would meet all of them.
Tom had thought it would be a brilliant idea for him to live with boys around his age anyways. So when Tom had heard of this home he jumped right in.
"The youngest one if fourteen and the oldest seventeen, I am sure you will fit right in." Tom had when he brought up the idea of Sebastian living in the home. Sebastian had not been completely sold on the idea thinking that a place like that was only for the worst kind of kids and he refused to think of himself like that. Soon though Tom had convinced him and that is how he found himself pulling into the driveway of a two story, brick house.
Sebastian at how perfect the home looked. It was all so new to him. He was used to living in small flats with five or more kids living with him but now here he was, looking up at a large house surrounded by grass and fields and no other houses for at least four miles. He knew that the couple inside could never live up to expectation they had made for themselves.
It all looked too….perfect for him. But Tom didn't seem to think so. "What a wonderful place." The man had said as he stopped the car, putting it in park. "I bet you are going to like this family huh, Sebastian?" He said looking at the boy expectantly.
"Mmm." Sebastian said noncommittally as he undid his buckle and opened the door, stepping onto the pavement of the driveway. Tom followed his actions and then they were both walking to the front steps of the house. Once that got to the front door Tom had brought his hand up to knock on the door when a boy answered the door. He was lean and tall and wild dark curls covered his head. The boy looked at them for a moment before turning around without a word and left. Tom quirked a brow at the strange boy before shrugging it off and knocking at the screen door.
As they had waited Sebastian looked around the house with a bored expression. It was so different here. In London everything was so rushed and gray but here it was so…green, so….fresh. All around him was green grass and the house had a fence separating the yard from a field with a fence. And the field, after a while, turned into woods. It was just so strange. It made his heart long for London.
As he drifted deeper and deeper into his thoughts he didn't see a large wasted woman open the door and introduce herself to Tom. Before turning to Sebastian and introducing herself to him. Her and Tom had been waiting expectantly for a while when Sebastian realized their attention was directed at him.
"Hello." He mumbles as he shook the lady's hand shyly. She smiled at him sweetly before turning to Tom again. They talked for a while more before she moved out of the way and allowed them to come in.
As Sebastian walked in he was hit with the smell of other person, that odd combination of smells that didn't have a description other that the person themselves. He was walking through the small foyer of the house when he noticed the pictures of the boys up on the walls. Some of them were older pictures and other very recent. He was stilling looking at them when Tom and Kathy had stopped walking causing him to run into Tom. Sebastian quickly spat out and apology before backing up. Tom smiled and waved him off while Kathy giggled.
"You two can sit down if you would like." She offered gesturing towards the chairs. They were apparently in the dining room now." I need to just go and get Brandon and we can begin." Tom nodded and thanked her before pulling out a seat for himself and Sebastian. The dining room as a large room than the foyer complete with painting on the walls, a ten person dining table, and a large china cabinet pushed up against a wall. It was painted a light mint green that was matching the dark furniture and wood perfectly. He was looking around the room when his eyes fell to the archway, apparently leading to a sitting room, but that is not what caught his attention. What had caught his attention was the tiny boy with dark black hair and large brown eyes standing in the archway staring at him.
He raised his hand to wave at the boy but was interrupted when Kathy and her husband joined them in the dining room. Brandon had introduced himself shaking both his and tom's hand before the adults began signing paperwork and whatnot. Sebastian looked back to the archway where the boy had been but found it empty. He furrowed his brow but shrugged it off and turning his attention back to what was being said.
As they finished tom shook both the couples hand and stood up and looked at Sebastian. "Alright, we need to go get your stuff out of my trunk and you will be ready to move in." He said with a large smile. Sebastian nodded and stood up. Brandon had offered to help but Tom had rejected the offer because Sebastian had very little stuff to be moved.
When they got outside they both headed for the trunk that Tom had popped. As Tom handed Sebastian his duffle bag and small backpack he gave him a said smile. "I am going to miss you bud." He said pulling the boy into a hug. "Behave like you should. And call me if anything comes up" He said. Sebastian nodded and then turned to the house, heart fluttering slightly. This is it.
